Hall of Fame

A transfer student in the winter of 1974 from St. Anslem
College, Daniel Caritey quickly made his
presence known on campus. He excelled in both varsity hockey and
varsity baseball for three consecutive seasons. On the ice, his
athletic honors included being a first team selection to Hockey's
All State College Team and the All-East Team in Division II &
III in 1975, 1976, and 1977. He received the James Ellingwood
Memorial Award in both 1975 and 1976. This award honors athletes
whose athletic performance and achievement on and off the ice
exemplified the life of Coach Ellingwood. As co-captain on the
hockey team, he set three school records in the '76-77 season: most
goals in a season (26), most assists in a season (41), and total
points accumulated in a season (67). He was renowned for his hat
trick performance.

On the diamond, he patrolled centerfield and knew the importance of
hustle and backing up his teammates. He said, "It's your
responsibility to be there, you can't let the runner have an easy
base." Dan's sense of responsibility was evident whenever and
whatever he played. He was honored with a selection to the All
State College team and the All New England First Team in 1976 and
1977. As a fitting end to a stellar career, Dan received an
Honorable mention for All- American in both hockey and baseball in
his senior year.

Dan returned to campus in 1979 to receive a Masters of Education. A
degree he pursued with honors.
